What are some thoughts / ideas about home protection?

Defense
1) Security System? This would help even when I'm not home whereas the two solutions below won't. However when I'm home, would this make me feel better?

2) Better Locks / Motion Lights? This is a good idea regardless. I have metal doors, metal frames and deadbolts on all hinged doors. I have motion lights leading to the front door.

3) Vigilant neighborhood? We've got this one down - the whole area keeps their eyes open.

Offense
3) Guns? Handgun? Shotgun? I don't mind owning a handgun. I'd use one if I felt threatened, and would go to the range to keep proficiency up. keet / trap is very different than home protection, but a 12 gauge will effectively scare someone out of my house / yard.
